The volume of hydrogen liberated at STP by treating 2.4 g magnesium with excess of hydrochloric acid is ______ ×10-2 L [2023]
Given: Molar volume of gas is 22.4 L at STP.
Molar mass of magnesium is 24 g mol-1
(224)
Mg+2HCl→MgCl2+H2↑
1 mole 1 mole
w=2.4 g
=0.1 mole 0.1 mole
1 mole of gas at STP
=22.4 lit.
∴ 0.1 mole of gas=0.1×22.4
=2.24 lit=224×10-2 litre
